* *CLERGY ZOOM calls this Thursday, I will be sending the link later this afternoon, special guest Rev. Trey Harper!

**Attention friends of Wesley Meadows!
For 9 months now, our family has been on very restrictive access
due to COVID. This looks to continue through Christmas.
Since they cannot get out to enjoy Christmas this year,
we want to bring some joy to them.
However, we need your help!
We are asking for donations of large outside Christmas            decorations that light up, blow up or do both. We will need at least 50 of these, along with extra-long outdoor extension cords. We will place these at locations on our campus where the elders can all look out their windows and enjoy them. Can you donate one or more?
 
Give Jamie a call at 662-429-2070 for drop-off information. Together we can make this Christmas one to remember for our family here!(see attachment)
